About The Book

<p>With extraordinary transnational and transdisciplinary range, <i>World Literature, Transnational Cinema, and Global Media</i> comprehensively explores the genealogies, vocabularies, and concepts orienting the fields within literature, cinema, and media studies. </p><p>Orchestrating a layered conversation between arts, disciplines, and media, Stam argues for their "mutual embeddedness" and their shared "in-between" territories. Rather than merely adding to the existing scholarship, the book builds a relational framework through the connectivities within literature, cinema, music, and media that opens up analysis to new categories and concepts, while crossing spatial, temporal, theoretical, disciplinary, and mediatic borders. The book also questions an array of hierarchies: literature over cinema; source novel over adaptation; feature film over documentary; erudite over vernacular culture; Western modernisms over "peripheral" modernisms; classical over popular music; written poetry over sung poetry, and so forth. The book is structured around the concept of the "commons," forming a strong thread which links various struggles against "enclosures" of all kinds, with emphasis on natural, indigenous, cultural, creative, digital, and the transdisciplinary commons.</p><p>World Literature, Transnational Cinema, and Global Media is ideal to further the theoretical discussion for those undergraduate and graduate departments in cinema studies, media studies, arts and art history, communications, journalism, and new digital media programs at all levels.</p> <p>Introduction: The Terms of Debate</p><p>Goethe and <i>Weltliteratur</i> </p><p>The Theory of World Literature </p><p>From World Literature to Alternative Modernisms </p><p>The Cosmopolitanism of the Periphery </p><p>Columbus, <i>El Nuevo Mundo</i>, and Postcolonial Studies </p><p>French Postcoloniality and <em>Litterature-Monde </em></p><p>Sibling Disciplines: Literary Studies and Cinema Studies </p><p>From Literature to Film: A Study in Ambivalence </p><p>The Cinema and the World Literature Canon</p><p>The Gains of (Film) Translation </p><p>Adaptation, Remix, and the Cultural Commons </p><p>From Adaptation to Remix</p><p>World Cinema: The Pre-Hisory</p><p>The Theory of World Cinema</p><p>World Music and the Commons</p><p>Transmedial Music in Latin America</p><p>The Transnational Turn </p><p>Transnational Cinema</p><p>The Coefficient of Transnationality</p><p>Transnational Reception, Gender, and Aesthetics </p><p>Transnational Film Schools and Pedagogy </p><p>The Rise of the "Woods": From Hollywood to Nollywood via Bollywood </p><p>Globalization, Political Economy, and the Media </p><p>Acquatic Tropologies </p><p>Technologies of Intermedial Flow</p><p>Globalization: The Mediatic Resistance</p><p>Transoceanic Currents: the Red, Black, and White Atlantic</p><p>Global Indigeneity and the Transnational Gaze</p><p>The Media’s "Deep Time" and the Planetary Commons</p><p>The Commons and the Globalized Citizen </p><p>Terminological Reflections</p><p>Toward a "Trans" Methodology</p>
